Stuffy is getting the hang of living here. Seriously. He has been a very laid-back, mild-mannered ferret since he moved in a few weeks ago. However, he appears to have either been taking lessons, or finally just letting himself go. A few days ago, he murdered two defenseless plastic bags. They were just laying there, minding their own "business", when he jumped inside of them and torn them to shreds!!! Then, to add insult to injury, he got on top of the pile of shredded and torn plastic and war danced to beat the band! You could just *hear* him singing "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!!" Well, last night he was at it again. This time though, the bag was a little tougher and he wasn't able to tear through! It was a plastic bag that the newspaper comes in when they think it will rain (the bag is made extra-tough, so that it will fill with rain-water, without leaking) and I typically leave them out for general play. He got in the bag and started in. Nothing happened. He stopped and stared at the bag. He started again, but failed to impress the plastic. I don't know if it was sheer frustration, or just a change of plans, but he then flipped upright and started to war dance *inside* the bag. Of course, this brought an immediate response from several other of my ferrets as they all rushed out to watch this unusual behavior. Apparently, Stuff looked as though he was having *way* too much fun in there by himself, as several of the observers decided to join him inside the bag. Ever see a long plastic bag with three ferrets trying to war dance inside? Don't drink soda or milk while watching! Todd and the (What's a Chinese Dragon?)
